NOTICE
The chartered members of the Odd Fel
low's Association will meet in the Regis
ter's office, on Thursday, April 11th, at 2
o'clock. A full attendance is desired, as
business of importance will be transacted.
/dr Absence from borne and a pressure
of office business have given us little time,
this week, for scribbling.
ANOTHER GLORIOUS VIOTORY.
The details of the great battle at Pitts
burgh Landing, on the Tennessee River,
will be found in our news columns, and
will be read with great interest. The con
spicuous gallantry of the Union officers,
and the obstinate valor of the Union forces
have scarcely a parallel in die history of
the war, and rendered the engagement one
of the most sanguinary that ever occurred
on the continent. It may be regarded as
the first of a series of battles which are to
be decisive of the struggle. The next will
be in Eastern Virginia, and will be impa
tiently awaited.

The following are some of the measures
for the benefit of the negro that have been
introduced into Congress :
1. Recognition of the negro Empire of
Hayti.
2. Abolishment of negro slavery in the
District of Columbia.
3. Prohibiting our army officers from
returning fugitive slaves.
4. Establishing a plantation for free
negroes in South Carolina, and taxing the
Northern people to support it.
5. Proposing to aid the States to abolish
negro slavery, by taxing the Northern
people to pay for the slaves.
6. To repeal the Fugitive Slave Law.
7. To repeal the law which forbids ne
groes from being stage drivers or carrying
the U. S. Mail.
3. To prohibit slaveholdera from taking
their slaves into Arizonia Territory.
There are other measures of a similar
kind, but have not yet been fully matured
and laid before Congress. By the time
that body gives them a full discussion it
will have a little leisure to consider the
interests of white men. No wonder peti
tions are being sent into Congress, even
from New England, to let the negro ques
tion alone.
THE ABOLITIONISTS AND THE
PRESIDENT.
John Hickman, of Perna„ one of the ul
tra radical Republican members of Con
gress, lately made a furious attack in the
House upon President Lincoln's Emanci

says:

TRIITH IN A FEW WORDS,
It is estimated, says the York Ga
zette, that from Three Hundred and Fifty
to Four Hundred Millions of Dollars
would be required to purchase the Slaves
of the Border States, allowing the small
sum of $3OO apiece. This large amount
the Republican party are in favor of ma
king the honest tax-payers of the country
pay in, heavy taxes. The negroes once
bought, the expense and trouble will be
just begun. They must be clothed and
kept from starvation afterwards. This
will require more than the amount requir
ed for their purchase. This is indeed a
pretty Republican scheme, at once econom_
teal, just and pains - tic(?) Is such a party
worthy of the confidence of the people?

TRUE WORDS.
The N. Y. World, a Republican paper,
protests against the attempts of the Sum
ner-Gree]y school of politicians to resusci
tate the Republican party °•for the pur
pose of erasing from the national flag as
many stars as it originally contained,"
and makes the following statement, which
might be considered prophecy, if it was
not the expression of truth already quite
patent:
"As soon as the war draws visibly to a
close, the Democratic party will, in any
event, spring up again in full vigor. Hea
vy taxation, the corrupt squandering of the
public money brought to light by Congres
sional committees of investigation, and
the questionable stretches of power to
which the Executive authority has resort
ed, will be charged home upon the Repub
lican party, which was alone responsible
for the administration.
TRAITORS IN THE CAPITOL.
The Republican Senators of our State
debased themselves, and insulted their con
stituents when, last week, they granted
the use of that Chamber to the notorious
traitor and disunionist, Wendell Phillips.
When the leaders of the party in this State
grant such privileges to such a man, is not
the inference irresistible that they, at least,
are Abolitionists of the John Brown,Lloyd
Garrison and Wendell Phillips school, and
are endeavoring to lead their constituents
up to the same point. We do not know
what this distinguished disunionist feasted
the willing ears of the Senators at Harris
burg upon, but suppose his speech was of
the same character as the one delivered a
few days since at Washington, which occu
pied several columns of the New York Tri
bune, of the 18th inst., from which we ex
tract the following :
"Unless within twelve months or twenty
ty four, Maryland is a free State, Deleware
and half of Virginia, would to God that
that building, (pointing to the Capitol,)
with this city of Washington had been
shelled to ashes last July."
Speaking of the Constitution, he said :
"Now I love it, though my friend (Dr.
"Pierpont,) who sits beside me, has heard
"me curse it a hundred times, and I shall
"again if it does not mean justice. Piave
"labored nineteen years to take .nineteen Stales
"out of this Union, and if I have spent any
"nineteen years to the satisfaction of my Pu
"ritan conscience, it was those nineteen years."
Referring to Wm. Lloyd Garrison, a life
long disunionist, and Abolition editor, who
has kept for years, at the head of his pa
per, the infamous motto, "The Constitution
is an agreement with death, and a coven
ant with hell," he spoke of him as "a
"'man who had done more, in the Provi
"dence of God, to shape the fate of this
"generation than any other one," and that
"he (PHILLIPS,) was• proud to sit at his
(thasisoN's) feet:"
The brave McClellan was sneered at as
a "Quaker General," who had "never fired
a cannon," We doubt not that our
.Abo
lition Senator was hugely tickled to find
his Abolition harangue so ably seconded
by this vile curses of the Constitution ; it
so well accorded too, with his expressed
views of that instrument in his political
sermons and stump speeches in 1856.
When such foul slanderers of our forefath
ers—such revilers of tbe Constitution form
ed by them are graciously allowed to vent
their treason in the Senate Chamber of our
State Capitol, it is high time that the peo
ple begin to look about them, to inform
themselves of the principles and objects of
that party with whom the Constitution is
nothing, the negro everything.—Greens
burg Democrat.

11011IAT IT WOULD COST.
President Lincoln's scheme for "the
gradual abolishment of slavery," if adop
ted by Congress and the border slave States,
would add about two hundred millions of dol
lars to our already over-burdened treasury
and over-taxed people. The slaves in Del
aware, Maryland, West Virginia, Ken
tucky and Missouri, according to the cen
sus of 1860, amount to 441,295. At an av
erage of $5OO each they would cost a sum
exceeding two hundred millions. And
then if it is good to abolish slavery in these
States in this manner, it is equally good to
abolish it in the other States. Figure it

HARRISBURG, APRIL 3d, 1862
Messrs. Editors Messenger: The Legisla
ture is about drawing to a close. Whether
its labors are of chatacter as to be
commended to the kind consideration of
the people, the future alone can tell. A
number of important measures have been
passed, and are now laws, and their merits
or demerits must be judged by those who
are to come after us. I have endeavored,
as far as my feeble abilities would permit,
to discharge my duty not only to the peo
ple of Greene county, but to those of the
whole State. limy action here meets with
the approbation of my constituents I am
content. If it does not, I still have the
consciousness of being governed by honest
motives, and a regard for what is due to
the people.
The committee to investigate the means
used for the passage of the bill commuting
the tonnage tax upon the Pennsylvania
Rail Road, is still in operation, and going
on with the examination of witnesses. I
understand that the examination will dis
close some astounding facts, showing the
corruption which has been used in the pas
sage of bills. This committee have been
indefatigable in their labors, and worked
almost night and day. It is well known
that these committees are sometimes got
up for the express purpose of making
money, but it has not been so in this case.
Every member of it has pursued a course
which will, when the report is made, show
that it has not been a white-washing con
cern, but on the contrary, a disposition to
get all the facts and exhibit them to the
people.
The committee to investigate the banks
are also pursuing their examinations of
witnesses, though I believe no fraud has
as yet been shown in regard to the passage
of the bank bill. What developments they
will be able to make, I cannot at present
say.
Some suppose that the Governor will be
compelled to call an extra session of the
Legislature. This is predicted on the
ground•that it will be necessary in order to
arrange and fix the tax bill for the State.
If our portion of the indebtedness of the
United States is to be assumed by the State
then it will be necessary to have an extra
session, in order that uniformity in the
imposition of taxes may be had. The farm
ing interests are now heavily taxed, and
it is time some other interests would pay
their share of the public burdens. If we
have equality in our mode of taxation, the
bur den will not be cast upon one class of
the community, but be distributed equally.
The Legislature would now do something
with this subject, hut it is impossible to do
so, because Congress has not yet passed
the tax bill for the United States, and un
til they do, it would be folly to attempt to
pass any bill in the Legislature of this
State, for we know not what per cent of
tax, and on what objects Congress may
impose. In this view, an extra session
may be demanded by public necessity, and
for the protection of the people.
The principal portion of legislation now
is local. All th 3 Abolitionists in the Sen
ate and House, having expended them
selves on the slavery question, we are now
hard at work attending to the public in
terests and we are now holding from two
to three sessions each day, Saturdays and
Sundays excepted. So far as local bills
relating to the county of Greene is con
cerned, all is finished up. The Act to fix
and regulate the compensation to be al
lowed to Sheriffs of Greene county for
conveying convicts to the Penitentiaries
has passed both houses of the Legislature,
which provides as follows : that the com
pensation hereafter to be paid to the
Sheriffs of Greene county for conveying
prisoners sentenced by the Courts to the
Penitentiaries of this Commonwealth,
shall be as follows, to wit:- three dollars
per day for each day actually employed in
such removal ; three cents per mile for
each mile, circular, traveled and such
necessary expenses as may be actually in
curred in such removal; a statement or
exhibit of the items of such expense to
be made out and verified by affidavit and
approved by the Court. Also, an Act
changing the time of holding the Town
ship elections in Greene county from the
third to thes.second Friday of March here
after. P. D.
Yorktown, Va., Besieged by Nealellan's
Axmy.
WAsHiNaToN, April 7.—The following is
the summary of the intelligence received
by the War Department up to ten o'clock
Monday:
The first operations at Yorktown and
Fortress Monroe, yesterday, the enemy's
works were carefully examined by Gen.
McClellan, and were found to be very
strong, and the approaches difficult. The
enemy were in force, and the water bat
terie York and Gloucester are said to
• • . increased. There was sharp
he right, but no harm done. Our
forces were receiving supplies from Ship
ping Point, repairing roads and getting up
large trains. It seemed plain that mortars
and siege trains must be used before as
saulting.
Another dispatch,• received at 10:30 A.
11., states that Yorktown will fall, but not
without a siege of two or three days.—
Some of the outer works were taken.
A dispatch from General Wool states
that Magruder had thirty thousand men
at Yorktown.
Another dispatch to the Seerltry of
War states that a new rebel camp was
discovered on the beach at the Rip Raps,
and was shelled out by Colonel Holliday.
A rebel tug was seen making a recon
noissance off Sewall's Point in the after
noon of Sunday.
Several regiments of the enemy's In
fantry were seen from the Rip Raps during
the day.
On Sunday afternoon Shipping Point
had been taken, our gunboats having
shelled out the water batteries. There
was considerable delay caused in crossing
Deep creek at Warwick Court House, and
resistance was made by the rebe4, during
which several casualties occurred on our
side.
All the fortified places of importance
before Yorktown had been taken.
At every point the greatest enthusiajn
prevailed among the troops.
A fuller detail is given in the following
dispatch:
To Hon, Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of
War: BEFORE YORKTOWN, Saturday
evening.—Tbat portion of the army of the
Potomac, recently concentrated at Old
Pont, advanced yesterday morning in the
direction of Yorktown, twenty-four miles
distant. The right was assigned to Gen.
IVlorrell's brigade of General Porter's Di
vision, two companies of the Third Penn
sylvania cavalry, and a portion of Berdan's
division of sharp shooters, acting as skir
mishers.
Nothing of interest took place until
their arrival at Big Bethel, twelve miles
distant, where they met the outer picket
of the rebels. The troops were delayed
there two hours in reconstructing a bridge,
which had been destroyed by the rebels,
who retreated before the advance of our
skirmishers to Howard Creek, where
they had some abandoned earthworks.—
Four shots were fired here by the rebels
from two field pieces, which were soon si
lenced by the 4th Rhode Island battery,
when the rebels beat a hasty retreat, ta
king their pieces with them.
The main body of the army here rested
for the night, while General Morrill's bri
gade advanced three miles to Cuckleville
and six miles from Yorktown, an there
encamped.
By seven o'clock Saturday morning, the
column was again in motion, and at ten
o'clock was in front of the enemy's works
at Yorktown. The first shot fired was by
the rebels, the shell passing over the heads
of Gen. Porter and staff, without explo
ding.
The batteries of Griffin, 3d and 4th
Rhode Island and the 6th Massachusetts,
were now placed in position, replying to
every shot sent by the rebels. The can
nonading continued with but slight inter
mission until dark. About four hundred
shots were fired by both parties during the
day.
The position of the rebels is a strong
one. From present indications, their for
tifications extending some two miles in
length, and mounting heavy guns. The
ground in front of their works is low
and swampy, making it utterly impassi—
ble.
THE ADVANCE
On Friday morning, about daylight, the
grand army struck tents, and commenced
the march "onward to Richmond." Gen.
Heintzelman's corps de armee moved up
through Great Bethel—the direct route to
Yorktown. After leaving the camp, some
miles beyond Hampton, the advance
struck across New Market Bridge, along
a most beautiful and romantic road, the
birds singing sweetly through the woods.
It seemed as though the grand army was
a grand pageant, celebrating some gala
day.
A company of Berdan's Sharpshooters
took the advance, with the 4th Michigan
and the Fourteenth New York, and the
3d Pennsylvania Cavalry in the extreme
advance.
About twelve miles from Yorktown the
booming of a gun was heard. It was now
half past one o'clock. The men were
wearied, yet anxious to proceed. The dis
charges of heavy rifled pieces became nu—
merous. The enemy seemed to respond
briskly with a very heavy piece, as the
sound of the discharge seemed sullen and
heavy.
THE ENEMY RETREAT
We soon perceived Allen's Fifth Mas—
sachusetts Battery banging away at every
formidable earthwork. A short time pie
vious to this, the Third Pennsylvania
cavalry drove in the rebel pickets. Grif—
fins battery was also unlimbered in range.
The Fourteenth New York, Companies B
and -A of Berdan'oi Sharpihootern, were
advancing toward the batteries: There

TEE FORTIFICATIONS—CAMP MUMMY. . The undersigned Auditor will attend to the duties cf
AMMO V Yra.
The Second and Eighth Mississippi oc—
cupied the above fortifications, and called
the place Camp Misery. Most of the res—
idents that remained had their houses fill—
ed with children. They claimed them as
their own, but it was evident that they be—
longed to the secessionists, who had gone
to fight in the rebel cause.
Gen. Heintzelman and Gen. Porter ar—
riving, made a house, in the centre of
these fortifications the headquarters of
this corps. During the evening, several
families came out of the woods with white
flags flying, wanting to get to their resi—
dences, which they bad escaped from dur
ing the day through fear. They wefe ter
ribly frightened, claiming that gentlemen
would not insult them, their only fear be—
ing from stragglers.
The Union army bivouacked in the
rebel camp "misery," preparatory to an
early start
The fight was carried on almost entirely
with artillery, with the exception of Ber—
dan's Sharpshooters. Weeden's Battery
opened first, followed by Martin's on the
left. Soon Griffin's Third Rhode Island,
and Fifth Massachusetts, were in position,
and the battle commenced in earnest, The
discharges were rapid on the Union side,
answered at intervals by the enemy.
The first man struck was J. Reynolds, of
the Rhode Island Battery. He was struck
with a piece of shell.
Two of Col. Sam Black's men were next
hit by a round shot—a thirty-two—tear—
ing the knapsack off one man. One was
wounded slightly, while the other was
mortally wounded.
The sharpshooters, with their telescopic
rifles, kept the enemy away from theirguns.
They crept within a half mile of the rebels.
'For one hour they did not reply, our sharp—
shooters popping them off as soon as they
attempted to load.
Three of Berdan's Sharpshooters were
at this time wounded, and one killed—a
man from New Hampshire. He was shot
through the forehead, by a musket ball.—
Lieut Colonel Ripley killed the man who
shot him, thus avenging his death.
During the day the rebels fired a small
piece of ordnance, ofone inch bore, rifled,
at the Berdan's.
After Griffin's Battery was brought into
action, it silenced three guns of the reb3ls.
The artillerists acted nobly during the
whole engagement. They took their posi—
tion and maintained it until ordered to
ME
Heavy firing closed with the day ; but
during the night the pickets could be heard
banging away, far in the advance. Prof.
Lowe, at the close of the day, sent hisbal—
loon up, for the purpose of reconnoissance.
